I'm not sure if I ever mentioned that The Boy was building us a chicken coop. Well, he did, and this past weekend we visited some dear friends and came home with four hens.

I love observing them as they wander around our little acre. I love gathering the eggs and creating meals and dishes with them. I love watching them meander back to the coop as dusk closes in and the light starts to fade. I love living simply, in as close a rhythm to Nature as I can muster.

With that, I have four pounds of beans waiting to be blanched for the deep freeze.

That is a seriously cool chicken coop. Years ago, we found a stray domestic rabbit, so my hubby got busy building her a super nice hutch. No sooner did we pop her inside when she had 8 bunnies for him to build more hutches for!

Cool coop, and it looks like it's easily moveable. Hens are such fun! They do have their own personalities, and I love the different sounds they make, like when they find a good bug. The others come running to see what was caught (and take it if possible). Enjoy your hens!
